Chapter 1592 A Tie
Steven is a threat to the Seets. If I kill him, then Sally will definitely refuse to bear the child, and in turn, I’ll be responsible for my own grandchild’s death this way.
It looks like I’ll have to think of another way to treat Steven for the sake of the baby.
“Sally! Are you really pregnant with Kyle’s baby?”
Sally turned to Steven and gave him a firm nod.
Do you think you can survive in the hands of Evan? If it weren’t for my lie, you would probably be dead already.
You have the chip that the Seets feared. They would have to kill you to feel at ease.
I lied so that Evan would have mercy for you and Skyler, considering you’re the grandfather of my child.
This so-called “baby” is your shield.
But you…
You should think about me bearing the child of the Seets, so you should stop having thoughts of killing any member of the Seets.
When you realize the incident had nothing to do with Evan a few days later, your vengeance and murderous intent will be gone.
Then, we’ll need to think of a way to ease the tension between the two families. This was the only solution I could come up with in such a short period.
“Daddy, I bear one of the Seets in me. If you activate that chip, then I, along with your grandchild, will die together in the blast.”
“Sally, you-”
“Daddy, I think it’s best if we follow Juan’s instruction. You, me, and Skyler will stay at Imperial Garden. We’ll decide our next step after the result from the background check on Riley is out.”
“I don’t want to stay at Imperial Garden,” Steven said dejectedly. I have a place to stay, so why do I have to stay at Imperial Garden? Isn’t this a form of house arrest?
“You don’t want to stay here? I don’t think you have the choice to decide that. You’re currently a prisoner, so you have no say in this matter.” Juan stared at him with his arms folded over his chest.
Steven lowered his head and glanced at Faye, who pretended to be Nicole, holding him hostage with a dagger to his neck.
He sneered then slowly raised his right hand. There was a ring shining brightly under the light on his finger.
“I’m aware that I’m a prisoner, but the same goes for all of you. All I need to do is clench my hand into a fist, and the black box will explode. In mere seconds, Imperial Garden will be nothing but dust.”
“A ring? He implanted the chip in the ring?”
“This guy is so sly!”
Riley was shocked by the scene in front of him. He clearly saw Steven place the chip into his pocket. He didn’t expect it to be on his ring.
This…
Faye tried to steal Steven’s ring, but he noted her intention and merely taunted, “Hold the dagger properly. If you dare do anything reckless, everyone here will be dead in no time. Clenching my fist only takes a second.”
Faye was stunned.
Steven returned his gaze to Evan. “Evan, who do you say is the winner this round?”
Even though my life lies in Faye’s hand, the entire Imperial Garden is within my grasp. I don’t think I’m the loser here.
Evan’s eyes turned dark.
“Even though you hold the chip, Skyler and Sally are also here at Imperial Garden. So I believe you won’t activate the chip, which will kill your family as well.”
Steven was surprised by his words. “So what do you say? Is it a tie?”
“What tie?” Davin said, “I think Sally is the winner this round. Let’s stop the killings for the sake of the baby.
“Steven, we’re going to let you live. So you give yourself a few days and wait for the truth. Sally bears a child of the Seets, so she must stay at Imperial Garden. We will take good care of her. Skyler will also be staying at Imperial Garden. As for you, you can stay wherever you want. Will that do for you?”
“Dad, I don’t want to stay in Imperial Garden. Juan is mean. He will throw a hammer at me,” Skyler complained.
“He won’t do that. You’re the uncle of the baby, and so is Juan. We’re a family now. Juan won’t throw any more hammers at you. He’ll certainly treat you better,” Davin assured.
